Unscrewing Economics with Rickey Gard Diamond

In this episode of The Power of Partnership Podcast, award-winning journalist Rickey Gard Diamond reveals how economic systems have been shaped to benefit a narrow few, often excluding women, people of color, and care for the planet. She challenges the myth that economics is fixed or purely technical, showing it as a human-made system we can redesign.

Rickey highlights partnership-based alternatives—like cooperative ownership, public banking, and values-aligned investing—and points to nations measuring social wealth alongside profit. Through her work with An Economy of Our Own, she calls for open conversations about money and bold action to create economies that “wage life, not war.”
